[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It is my inlaws. They got here Saturday, were only supposed to stay the weekend before visitsing other relatives, but the day before they arrived told us they wanted to spend extra time in DC, and we obliged. They're supposed to be leaving tomorrow (fingers crossed), but then they also said they would be back in DC on Friday or Saturday, implying that they would be staying with us again, before going home on Monday. I think we're just going to say it's been too disruptive for our 2yo (which is true!) and get them a hotel (spouse feels too bad about it so we will likely just pay).

I see the recommendation of asking the parents to tell their kid to behave, which seems kind of awkward to me. The parents will be in the same room, right next to their kid, as he's kicking a piece of furniture and not say a thing about it. So I've just been taking it upon myself. The end is hopefully in sight at least. [/quote]

Of course it’s the in laws!  DCUM women are the most intolerant of in laws of any set of women on the planet![/quote]

How is that some sort of gotcha? I would be perturbed if anyone, no matter the relationship, behaved that way. I just feel more awkward about telling them to shape up since they’re not my family. Also, how have I been intolerant? They’re being allowed to relax while my spouse and I are the only ones giving their kid any attention as he runs amok in our house. [/quote]

Because I guarantee that if it were your family and not your in law you’d think it’s cute.   [/quote]
